Episode 2

"Is this some kind of kidnapping because of my companies' actions? Or perhaps some kind of retaliation?"

Aziel reviewed in his mind all the names of the people with whom he used to have disputes over resources or differences between companies.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find anyone who would dare to do such a thing against him, not knowing the consequences that action would entail.

While Aziel was lost in his thoughts, he noticed something strange in his attire when he wanted to adjust the sleeve of his suit as usual.

Not only was the texture of the clothing different, it was evident that this was not the elegant suit he put on this afternoon for the meeting.

Made of thin fabric, the clothes he was wearing seemed more like pajamas.

"What is this?" Touching the clothes he was wearing, Aziel found something even more surprising, the body beneath the thin clothing was very different, it was too thin and small, a situation that left him dismayed.

"What? What does this mean?"

The frightened bodyguard only watched Aziel confused, the young man who had remained silent throughout the car ride, suddenly asked where he was being taken and about a certain dear Oliver.

Putting aside his fright, the bodyguard decided to ignore Aziel, believing that the young man had finally lost his mind, so he should take him quickly to the specialized hospital as he had been ordered.

But before starting the car, the back door of the car opened with a sound.

"It's... wait, where do you think you're going?"

Unbuckling his seatbelt, the bodyguard hurried out of the car to go after Aziel who had gotten out of the car.

"Stay there! You can't go anywhere!" the bodyguard ran, following Aziel in the midst of the honking of cars in the middle of the road.

Outside, everything looked normal, the trees, buildings, the cold midnight breeze could be felt as always.

In a state of confusion, Aziel stared stunned at everything around him, everything felt and looked real, but somehow, Aziel felt out of place.

As he looked around, Aziel remembered the moment when he suffered a blow to the head in the car accident and Oliver's worried face, and a sharp pain suddenly came to his head causing him to get dizzy.

"What is happening?" Aziel murmured to himself, holding his aching head.

If he was in a state of shock or lying unconscious in a hospital bed, Aziel hoped to wake up from this that seemed to be a dream, but everything felt so vivid.

"Dear Oliver, you must be so distressed, I just hope you are okay," Aziel continued to murmur.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going?! You can't walk around like that!"

Arriving where Aziel was, the bodyguard held the young man by the arm so he wouldn't escape again.

"We should have arrived at the hospital a long time ago, I'm going to get scolded for this," having Aziel, the bodyguard prepared to take him back to the car, however, Aziel did not move from his place.

And before the bodyguard applied more force to take him, Aziel spoke first.

"Why were you taking me to a hospital? I don't have any injuries or feel sick, by the way, who are you?" Aziel looked at the young bodyguard, not a face that seemed familiar to him.

Without the headache from a moment ago, Aziel noticed his attire, more than pajamas, these clothes were similar to the clothes a hospital patient would wear.

"I don't know exactly what's going on, but I must ask you a favor," Aziel spoke before the confused bodyguard responded to his question.

"Young man, would you be so kind as to lend me your suit jacket?"

"... What?"

"Please, I don't feel comfortable walking down the street in clothes like this, if you would be so kind," Aziel asked for the bodyguard's jacket with a smile.

"... Yes, yes, here you go," taking off his jacket, the young bodyguard handed it to Aziel.

"Thank you," with an elegant movement, Aziel put on the jacket, it was too big for him, but now he felt calmer.

The first thing to do in this situation was to remain calm, in the face of a problem or unknown situation, calm and sanity were always important.

"Well, now, could you tell me which hospital you were going to take me to?" Aziel questioned the young bodyguard.

Seeing Aziel, the young man exuded such a beautiful, calm and confident aura, different from what the bodyguard had heard.

"I was just following an order, I don't know what kind of hospital it is, only that it's a specialized hospital where they were supposed to admit you," the bodyguard tilted his head.

"Orders? From whom?"

"From the family I work for, the Roosevelt family."

"Roosevelt family?" Aziel repeated the bodyguard's words.

This last name seemed familiar to him.

"Do you know my name?" Aziel asked, adjusting the sleeve of his jacket.

"Yes, you are the infamous Aziel," the young bodyguard nodded.

"Infamous Aziel?" What surprised Aziel was not that the bodyguard mentioned his name, but the word infamous when referring to him.

"That's right, everyone knows you by that name," the bodyguard confirmed.

Specialized hospital, Roosevelt family, infamous Aziel, all this could not be a coincidence.

The one who was being taken to the hospital to be admitted by the Roosevelt family was the infamous Aziel from the omegaverse book that Aziel was reading before the car accident.

"Okay, okay," Aziel breathed deeply.

"Regarding the hospital, in these cases, a person cannot be admitted without their consent, especially when the person has full use of their mental faculties."

"Is that so? But I received an order from the Roosevelt family, they said you were very sick," the bodyguard tilted his head.

"Do I look sick?" Aziel asked.

"Mmm, no."

"Then there is no need to be admitted to a hospital."

"... But, it was an order, it could be a prob..."

"Don't worry, young man, I'll fix this with those people," Aziel raised his hand to indicate to the bodyguard to stop talking, it was a habit in Aziel to make that movement when he didn't want to hear more.

"Do you know where I live?" Aziel asked, changing the subject.

"Yes, do you plan to go back to your house?"

"For now, I need to see that house first, even if there's not much I can do, also, it depends on how everything goes," for the moment, Aziel decided to fix his situation first, the rest would depend on whether this was a dream or not.

Walking together, Aziel and the bodyguard headed towards the car.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Larry."

"Good, Larry, you must watch your vocabulary, a young man shouldn't express himself in that way, also, a young man with your height should be careful how and where he speaks, you could scare people, especially children."

"Since a moment ago in the car, why do you sound like an old man? You're younger than me."

Both walked together in the cold night, with the bodyguard full of curiosity about Aziel who spoke like an older person.

After an hour and a half car ride, they finally arrived on the outskirts of a beautiful and modest house.

"Larry, you can go rest."

Getting out of the car, Aziel watched the house for a few seconds, according to the book, the Aziel of the novel had a key stored under a pot in front of the front door.

And as if confirming that this scenario was from the novel, Aziel found the key under the pot and opened the door of the house.

"Have a good rest, Larry, have a good night and thank you for everything," Aziel said goodbye to the bodyguard before entering the house.

"Good night," said the bodyguard in response, he couldn't believe everything people said about Aziel, since he found him pleasant.

"He's a good guy."

Inside the house, in the midst of darkness, Aziel calmly looked for his room, it had to be the most ostentatious room according to the book, and indeed, it was easy to find his room by the design and tiger-striped color of the door.

Finally in the room, Aziel turned on the lights and all the calm kept until now disappeared, Aziel searched everywhere for some information, a diary or something that would end up confirming that he was inside the omegaverse novel.

There were many things, but nothing useful, until inside the trash can, Aziel found a poster with the image of a person, the image in question, especially the face of the person, was all scratched and broken.

Surprised by the person in the image on the poster, Aziel found the smile and eyes of the person familiar.

"... It can't be true."

The friend he had lost years ago had the same sinister smile and eyes as the person on the poster.
